Stop me if I'm wrong but those YouTube clips make the game look like a total yawnfest.

Yawnfest because you can't physically be there to play it? It's a whole other thing when you play for real. The game is outstanding so far, servers holding up to 6000 players per server. The option to play with a team of 48 or go alone and to fly a bunch of vehicles and shoot people with hundreds of guns with customization features really does say something.

Got my beta key from a mate the other night. Three of us getting in a liberator and doing some bombing runs is great fun. Had a large scale infantry battle in the dark last night which was seriously good fun.

There are things that need sorting out (I'm looking at you max suit animations) but the game is in a better state at this beta stage than a lot of releases. Really promising.

I'm not a fan of zerg bs, and have stayed away from Zurvan and so on. You get hundreds of people contending a base the size of a battlefield map, these turn into big meat grinders. I prefer the tactical satelliting.

I would not have paid for it in its current state in all honesty. Granted you get the value in station cash and the xp boost etc, but i wouldnt be happy paying for it.

The defending mechanic changed it seems to be mean a lot of defending with nothing to show for it like the "FAcility Defended" bonus you got. From what i saw this mechanic was disliked and removed, now people are asking it back!

Anyone who is looking for Keys, there is a Key Exchange on the biggest Planetside 2 Community, www.planetside-universe.com ive just donated 5 of my keys to the site.

You will have to take part in the community, but you will enjoy it if you're playing the game!

Also, a shameless bit of recruiting for my outfit, i'm on of five leaders of outcasters which is a multi-national, English speaking outfit and play on european servers (eurydome currently) for the Terran Republic Empire.

In Planetside 1 we had a significant impact on the battlefield with tight squad-play, we were also the first TR outfit on a European server to reach the maximum of 10 million outfit points.

A recommendation from me for RedManc and Outcasters - I play with a small outfit on the same server called INI Elite and we've played alongside outcasters since Planetside1 - very nice bunch of guys and a damn fine introduction to the game if you plan on playing TR!
